5. About the Book
This action-packed comic book tells the story that takes place in the Wild West during the turbulent pioneering period; it asks fundamental questions about humans and god. The story is unique in that instead of Europe that is the usual setting for the theme of divinity, the desolate wilderness of the West was opted for. With its exceptional choice of the backdrop and the dissolution of the traditional confrontational set up of good and evil, and the premise that there is no absolute good or bad, the series drew great attention from the beginning of its serialization.

4. About the Author Kim Yeon-su started studying illustration and comics in France. She received the Best Prize from the Asian Creative Story Contest for her graphic novel Children of an Old Kingdom, set in Angkor Wat. After the publication of her second novel, The Taste of Alsace, she moved to Jeju Island with her family and now lives on the island writing stories that will touch the hearts of readers.
5. About the Book To many people, Jeju Island is a tourist spot, but the family in the novel makes the island their home, and readers get glimpses of their everyday life on the island. The artist/writer shares small but yet important episodes from her own daily life through illustrations in soft pastel colors and the hidden meanings one can discover in what seem to be trivial but yet meaningful everyday events. As the family begins to heal themselves emotionally and physically surrounded by awe-inspiring nature and caring neighbors, the book prompts readers to ponder on the real meaning of happiness by reading about this family that takes a step further to personal maturity. Jeju Island is a volcanic island with several hundreds of parasitic cones, called “oreum” in Korean, and a gotjawal forest, meaning “a forest in the stony field,” which refers to a forest formed on a rocky region created by volcanic eruptions. Usually made of trees, vines, bushes, and rocks, gotjawal forests remind visitors of nature as it was at the beginning of time. In this unique ecological surrounding of Jeju Island, the family in the graphic novel is able to take in the breath of life, which is pristine and healing. Believing in the power of nature to heal them, they settle down to their new life near a gotjawal forest, which teaches them there must be reasons for trials and hardships in the past, and instead of forcing themselves to adjust to fast-paced city life, they learn the beauty of slow living on Jeju Island. The wind that blows through the oreum whispers to us not to look back on the hardships of yesterday but to move on without worries or cares and to discover the power of life in nature. Readers will cheer on the family in the book as they climb up on the oreum and wait for spring to come.
